We've been working on improving our spam detection. 

A big source of alpha has been taking algos used to rank content on the web and modifying them to work in Farcaster-space. 

@akshaan and @notawizard collaborated to add: 
- PageRank 
- Hyperlink Induced Topic Search 
- Louvain Clustering

Sneak peek at spam detecting algos.. Many takeaways including:

- number and quality of followers make a difference. Using channels to chat about similar interests may help get more followers.

- careful who you follow. Your fren's spam can hurt your score. See a fren getting spammy, tell them maybe?

- don't go overboard with reactions or you may be labeled a bot.

- followers with high trust/high scores help your score a lot. spammy followers bring you down. Wondering if blocking spammy followers helps?

 May the odds be ever in your favor! 🙏

One of the problems is that moxie rewards/allowances are structured to encourage low quality bot like farming behavior.
